Bop!


Bop! is an album by saxophonist Frank Morgan released in 1997 on the Telarc label.

Reception

The review by Allmusic's Scott Yanow said: "Although all eight selections on this CD have been played many times before, altoist Frank Morgan makes each of the pieces sound fresh.... A fine effort".
JazzTimes' Willard Jenkins noted "By no means a frenzied, pot-boiling affair, Morgan takes the time to nurse the nuances of the music. This is a very relaxed-though far from somnambulant-date befitting a man of Morgan’s astute bop immersion. His alto tone is relaxed and confident, and he addresses these lines as if born to them".
